Make these rich chocolate brownie cookies that combine the fudgy center of a brownie with the satisfying chew of a cookie. They feature irresistible crackly tops and bake quickly, making them a perfect easy chocolate dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fully combined.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound. The dough will be thick.
  8. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft and glossy for that fudgy texture.
  9. Remove from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the tops with a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt, if desired, for gourmet brownie cookies flavor.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best crackly tops, do not overbake. The cookies firm up as they cool.
  • You can substitute half of the semi-sweet chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips for a richer chocolate dessert mashup.
  • These browkies recipe cookies freeze well once cooled. Place parchment paper between layers.
